Did not explain about moving averages. Instructor just thought that beginners know about moving averages, and other technical indicators.

Very good and useful intro to options trading. The instructor was clear and easy to follow. My only complaint is that a few parts seemed a little outdated (such as old website interfaces) and could use some updating.

Excellent mais parfois lenseignant parle trop vite, passe trop rapidement dun concept lautre.

I am a beginner in stock market. This course made a lot of things understand from derivatives. Thank you for simple language and demonstrations.

The information provided is pretty good, but there are some serious drawbacks to the course that you'll run into as you go along.
First off, the videos reference homework lessons which are not provided. People have been asking for the homework for years apparently and have received no responses.
Second, the videos also reference material from other courses and don't explain it in this course. One of those lessons appears to only be available on their website for over $800! And while looking on the site I noticed they have testimonials using pictures that are obviously models / stock photos - that's very shady.

Yes, I have been learning a lot about option pricing.

Great source so far

Jeremy has done a great job to make this course interesting and keep my attention here!
By Anthony Mclean on 5/12/2020
This is an amazing course. I've tried youtube and various other instructors on the internet. They all seem to pack in too much information in their lessons. This course is well structured. He repeats his explanations 4-5 times so you can fully understand how he attained his results. I can tell he is an actually teacher vs someone who thinks he can teach based off of how he breaks down each lesson to it's simplest form.
